theater Lighting Sconces

For a home theater in my basement, should I place sconce lighting on either side of my projector screen?
I'm setting up a home theater in my basement (just finished framing). I plan to put 2 sconces on both side walls. But I was wondering if I should put a sconce on each side of the projector screen itself? Is having some dimmed light next to the screen good for viewing or is it better to keep the screen area as dark as possible?
Thanks - Sam.
It can wash out the image depending how close and bright they are. Ideally you need a dark room. It depends on the projector and screen though. Try a lamp to test it first. Good luck.

Don't get a TV stand from Pottery Barn. Their stuff is not optimized for electronics. Did you notice there are no electronics in the TV stand in the photo?
